In perspective drawings this is placed between the observer and the object:
Plane of projection / picture plane
This is the intersection of the ground plane with the picture plane:
Ground line
When positioning this feature of perspective projection, the centerline of the cone of visual rays
should be directed toward the approximate center of the object:
Station point
Perspective drawings are classified according to their number of these features:
Vanishing points
Two-point perspective is also known as:
Angular perspective
Most objects are defined principally by:
Edges or straight lines
In perspective drawings the position of the observer's eye is called the:
Station point
Shading of pictorial drawing is usually done for this type of drawing.
Patent
Historically, perspective drawings are used more for this type of application.
Architectural design
An intersection of the ground plane with the picture plane is known as:
Ground line

 The position of the observer's eye is called the station point.

 The vanishing point is the intersection of the ground plane with the picture plane.
 Parallel lines converge toward a single point on the horizon called the vanishing point.
 The horizon in the perspective view should be drawn at the same level above the ground line
as the height of the station point.
 The picture plane should be placed behind the station point.
 The picture plane can be placed either behind the object or in front of the object.
 One-point perspective is also known as parallel perspective.
 All lines in the picture plane are shown in their true lengths.
 Only vertical lines behind the picture plane are foreshortened.
 Shading pictorial drawings may lead to realistic when describing shapes of objects.
 Perspective drawings are the time-consuming types of pictorials to draw by hand.
 Perspective drawings are classified according to their number of vanishing point.
 All parallel lines that are not parallel to the picture plane vanish at a point.
 Lines that are parallel to the picture plane remain parallel to one another and do not
converge to a vanishing point.
 The bird's eye view produces a perspective that shows the objects as though looking down
from above.
 The worm's eye view produces a perspective view that shows the object as though looking
up from below.
 Perspectives are the most realistic looking of the pictorial drawing styles.
 For a one-point perspective the object should be oriented so that two sets of its principal
edges are parallel to the picture plane.
 All lines in the picture plane are shown true length.
